I am a new SC430 owner (lst time Lexus) of a pre-owned 2002. I love the car! I may not drive my garaged car for periods of a couple of weeks during the winter months. Should I buy a "tricker" (is that what it is called?) for my battery. Southeastern WA winters can be below zero for a week at a time.
Thanks!

I've had an '02 since it came out, keep it in a garage, and often do not drive it for several weeks at a time during the winter. I have never had a tender on my battery, and the original one lasted 5 years, but southern Ohio winters are not as harsh as yours, as we seldom get below 0 even for one day.

It sure would not be a bad idea, especially if the temp inside your garage gets below 30 for extended periods.
